Icon Deluxe
Copyright 1995, by Brian Tietz
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT AMIGAS ICON DELUXE WORKS ON:
Icon Deluxe now works on all Amigas and all OS versions from 2.04 up.
If it fails for anyone, on any system configuration, please let me know so
I can get it working for everybody. I can be reached on the internet at:
btietz@ucsd.edu
or via snail mail at:

Thanks in advance!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:
IconDeluxe can be installed using the install icon. However, you must
have Commodore's Install utility for the script to work.
If you don't have the Install utility, you can still install Icon Deluxe
by placing the files IconDeluxe and IconDeluxe.guide wherever you want them
(I recommend SYS:Tools).
You must have AmigaGuide or MultiView for online help to work. If not,
you can open a shell and type:
MakeLink SYS:Utilities/AmigaGuide C:More
or replace C:More with your favorite text viewer. If you do this, you'll
probably want to use a text editor to strip out the AmigaGuide
instructions. I could've done it myself, but most people have AmigaGuide,
and I didn't want to increase the distribution archive size. If you don't
feel like doing it, and need the text version, just say so in your
registration and I'll put the plain text docs on your disk.

COPYRIGHT:
The registered version is copyrighted and may not be distributed, so
please do not allow it to be pirated. Ten dollars isn't much, so anybody
who wants or uses it can afford it. If you use Icon Deluxe, please
register and encourage me to write more cheap but high-quality Amiga
software. I enjoy doing it!
The public version is freely distributable, but modification of the
program or distribution of any modified version is strictly prohibited and
constitutes a violation of the copyright.
The public version used to be full-featured and was not "cripple-ware,"
but I found out that someone had cracked it to remove the save delay, and
distributed it. I was only asking $10 to start with, and I never thought
that anybody could be that cheap! Because of this, I crippled the public
version in a fit of rage, so it could no longer save. I hate crippled
demos and didn't want to do this. That's why I put the save delay in the
first place: I wanted this program to be available to everybody so that
people who like the program but don't want to spend $10 can use it, but
have to live with the delay. Those who do register can enjoy the program
without the delay.
After much thought, I decided to make the public version able to save
again. Please do the right thing and if you like Icon Deluxe, register.

REGISTERING ICON DELUXE:
If you like Icon Deluxe, then you can reward me for the hundreds of hours
I spent writing it by sending a small contribution of $10 (or equivalent in
other currencies), to cover the cost of floppies and postage for two or
three mailings and so I can get a little something back for all my work.
If you have done so already, I would like to express my thanks to you, as
that $10 fed me for a week. If you have not registered, think of all the
time I spent writing this for you, and how nice it would be to help out a
poor student who's struggling to get by. In return, I will send you the
registered version of Icon Deluxe, which does not open the about window at
startup as does the public version. I'll also send updates to all
registered users for bug fixes and added features. For bug reports or
feature requests, I can be reached on the internet at:
btietz@ucsd.edu
Send cash, check, or money order payable to Brian Tietz. If sending
non-U.S. money, please send a check, if at all possible, since my bank does
not take foreign currency. If a check is IMPOSSIBLE, foreign currency is
OK.

If you have an email account, and wish to have the registered version of
Icon Deluxe emailed to you in uuencoded format to get it faster, just
include your email address. I can email it as an attachment or uuencoded
in the text, just state your preference.
Thanks in advance!
